Great locals pub, with an amazing barman, Elliot. He took my order, guest ale, and poured it but left it behind the bar. He took my money on card and as it was processing he gave the pint a little tweak of a top up. A perfect pint. He did it for everyone. No wonder people offer to buy him a

I was having a wonderful night and then the worst happened firstly I ordered a drink and this waitress chucked it at me I felt disrespected and I thought the pub shut at midnight, yet I hadn’t been kicked out so I wondered is the bar still open, which I then got the same waitress saying the bar was shut in a passive aggressive way. It’s normally a lovely pub but this waitress idk who she is but she did not understand customer satisfaction. So I’m not happy

I recently visited the Foxley Hatch pub located in Purley and was extremely disappointed with my experience. The bar staff, particularly Holly, had a terrible attitude and was incredibly rude and disrespectful towards myself and other customers. Holly has no people skills whatsoever and it is clear that she is not suited to work in the service industry.To make matters worse, a group of customers walked in around 11:30pm and were refused to be served for no apparent reason. It is ridiculous that the pub, which should be open until 12am, would refuse service to customers so close to closing time. This level of unprofessionalism is unacceptable, and it is clear that the staff at the Foxley Hatch pub do not care about their customers.Overall, I have to say that this is by far the worst Wetherspoons I have ever been to. The bar staff, especially Holly, have a terrible attitude and make the experience of visiting the pub incredibly unpleasant. I would strongly recommend avoiding the Foxley Hatch pub in Purley at all costs.

Walked in with my child and got a look of death by the guy behind the bar. Not your usual Wetherspoons, no food in stock, sticky tables, staff members who were hovering around my table ( as if I were being spied on)as I browsed the desolate menu on the app. Not sure if it was because my skin was of a darker hue or they just hated their jobs, but in all my31 years, i have never received this type of cold and awkward reception in any pub let alone Wetherspoons. Croydon is multi cultural, if the staff have an issue with it then London is the WRONG place to live. Bottom line, atrocious customer service

Awful service! Embarrassing, asked to leave in the most hostile way by selective staff, myself and family wanted this place to continue service but after seeing how staff behaved this place should be shut permanently and certain staff should be made redundant!

Another great pub! Friendly staff. Good food. I had the ham and cheese panini (forgot to take a picture). It was delicious! You can order from the app and they'll bring it to your table. There was no gas for carbonated drinks, but that was minor. They had bottled cider which is just as good as what's on tap. Plenty of seating. There are also a few tables outside in the front. Restrooms are clean, large and upstairs. There is also a handicapped restroom on the ground floor.

Had fish and chips today and it was a disappointment. Earlier it was really good but today the fish looked as if had been overcooked and greasy. I hope it was a one off.

Not the best Wetherspoons I've been in! Venue was rather limited for space,there were six of us so we had to put three tables together. Staff were pleasant enough at the bar. We ordered food, only to be told after that the kitchen had run out of chips and when the plates arrived most of the dinners were dry. Normally a member of staff would ask how our meals were, but not this time?

Came across this Wetherspoons by accident. Liked the atmosphere so decided to stay for a drink then some food. Barman was brilliant and helpful with making Gluten Free Choices. Food excellent. A lovely pub. Shame we live over 150 miles away.

Nice neighbourhood pub. Great prices, above average breakfast and friendly staff.
What you see is what you get. Cheap food and drink of a reasonable quality in chilled surroundings. Friendly staff and lively atmosphere.

Been a while since I visited. Much much better than I remember. Given the ridiculously low prices and the good ambience I’d come back.

Cosy Wetherspoons in Purley. Sometimes it can feel as if the bar staff are a bit overwhelmed, with glasses and plates not being cleared, but the staff are always very friendly and helpful (if overworked!)Fun quiz on a Wednesday, worth entering if you're in the area.
